Lyrics Cv1 - With The Dead

Cv1

Spires and shadows
Fractured hearts and souls
Tainted town once gold
Streets cold and grey
Prosperity had its day
Dreams faded away
Greif consumes me whole
As through this place I roam
Oh what became of home
Memories I still own
Are dying, growing old
Cherished yet perished, gone
Cemeteries, council estates
Faceless precinct in drabness encased
Aimless violence blood on the streets
From the ruins endless mistakes
Dying town
Our cathedral burnt to dust
Homes and livelihoods crushed
Lingering Nazi curse
War-torn architecture
Destruction of what was pure
Now a concrete eyesore
Beneath eternal sighs
Strength of its people high
The greatest of mankind
Circles of monotony
I’ve wondered endlessly
In sadness I love thee
City council, full of disgrace
Abattoir of this great place
Waste and sorrow, they create
Mincemeat of long lost grace
Dying town
